A medical records review is a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, diagnostic studies, previous treatments, physician notes, imaging, and other relevant healthcare information.
For patients with complex neurological or neurosurgical conditions, reviewing the complete medical record can provide important context that may not be apparent from a single office visit, MRI report, CT report, or diagnosis.

Sebee Boudreaux
Unbelievable and amazing! Dr. Ghaly is not only the most skilled and talented doctor, but he is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have had the pleasure of working with. If only every doctor was as kind and loving as he is. Saved me from a year of pain and followed up with me every step of the way. I cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Ghaly. The only true choice for a neurosurgeon or Lumbar surgeon.
Brendan Allen
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ghaly. Recently, I had my last follow up appointment after my spine surgery and I feel better than ever! After a two week into my recovery, I was able to return to my regular house tasks. Now, I have fully recovered and am fully mobile with no pain. During the recovery, I did not need pain meds, but it was available to me if needed.
Jesse Perez
I’m so grateful for the referral to Dr. Ghaly. Initially, I had high anxiety about the elective procedure. But Dr. Ghaly walked me through the process and worked with my family as to what to expect. He was great at easing my concerns and I have no regrets in getting the spine surgery. My only regret is not going to him sooner. Thanks a million, Dr. Ghaly! You have made my life so much more comfortable!!
Hunter Walker
For several years, I have suffered from lower back pain that was getting progressively worse. My niece had corrective back surgery and highly recommended that I meet with her doctor, Dr. Ghaly. This was the best advice! After a couple of visits, he scheduled surgery to correct the damage to my spine that was caused by arthritis. During each visit, he explained the procedure to me and to my family in terms that were easy to understand. His level of care and patience increased my comfort level with having the optional surgery. He was very thorough, kind, and ready to answer all of my questions. Having him perform the surgery was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I am so glad to have received the recommendation from my niece! Currently, I am in my second week of recovery from the surgery and I feel great!
